Sajan Dogra

Founder

Sajan studied for his MA Yoga at Himalayan Ayurveda College in Rishikesh, and his MBA at IMS Ghaziyabad.

Sanjay was born in Himalayan village Puldiyana in August 91. He completed his 5 Lakhs Namha Shivaye Japa at the age of 14 while studying in class 8th, and has completed bachelors and diploma degrees in economics, panchkarma, and ayurveda therapy. Since 2014, Mr. Dogra has been practicing Ayurveda Massage in his studio on Laxman Jhula Road, at Sant Sev Ashram.

With over 5 years experience living and working in the yoga community in Rishikesh, now we are ready to spread this light and energy of knowledge — Knowledge of healthy and happy yogi life style — with the world.

Rishikesh Yoga Foundation Trust is a charitable organization. All tuition revenue is invested directly in Rishikesh community development. Our facilities, program design, curriculum, excursions, are dependent on community economics — i.e. what’s mine is yours, — for yogis in Rishikesh and beyond.

Rishikesh Yoga Foundation offers immersion Retreats, as well as short and long term courses for the study of Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda Therapy. Our Yoga Teacher Training courses and retreats use traditional “Hatha” scriptures and reference, but are integrated with elements from many different styles of yoga.

Laura Tremblay

Co-founder

Laura studied Economics at New York University, where she understood the critical need for spiritual transformation of the global marketplace.

Laura came to Rishikesh in 2016 to further her yoga and meditation practice. Her economics degree and work in the urban economic development through sustainable permaculture farming and land stewardship projects fuel her passion to create a school where Yoga is for Everyone.

Our business design and pricing schemes are built to engage as wide an audience as possible, regardless of students’ financial status. We acknowledge the dangerous, divisive reality of global economic inequality, and have created RYF Trust to keep community funds in the community, investing and reinvesting for the growth of Yoga for Everyone, increasing the world’s understanding and practice of yogic lifestyle.

In coming years and decades, we plan to establish many safe, sacred spaces for students and seekers to enjoy: public ashrams, library, gardens and farms, for starters.

Student Testimonials

Creating a Holistic Experience

Sanjay is a good friend and our friendship sparked right away from our initial meeting and first conversation of vedic philosophy. He had a great insight into life through his spiritual wisdom and he applies this knowledge into his life, massage work and teachings, creating a holistic experience for anyone that encounters him. An authentic yogi that experiences life in its all its dimensions and its a pleasure to know him and his work in this day and age.

Inspired by the knowledge of Ayurveda

The best massage therapist in Rishikesh. I found the Rishikesh Yoga Trust Foundation my favourite place to come for relaxing, meeting spiritual friends, and sharing experience, love, wisdom after such extensive yoga trainings. I was so inspired by the knowledge in Ayurveda of Sanjan so that I took a Ayurvedic massage course with him, which helps me a lot in my naturopathic career. I also had great experience meditated at the Ganga bank and in a cave with the great guide after my course from the foundation. Highly recommended!
